Legends of the Fall

Enjoyed shooting some vivid early autumn colors this weekend. To my eyes it seems that we've had a longer shake at this than normal; usually the leaves drop soon after they turn resulting in a fairly bleak pre-winter landscape.

Not so this year. Or maybe I'm just paying attention this time out. Had me stopping the car along the side of the road to shoot across the river for a little Seasonal Rorschach action...

...and then pausing to catch some nicely backlit wildgrass along the banks...

Trees in the Exchange District framing some of the architecture...

And even some uber-color uber-close to home...

And another traffic stop - this time on the way to the arena for the now seasonally-ubiquitous ringette practices. Had to pull over and snap these. An odd combination on the download with sports action soon to follow.

Was a great way to enjoy some beautiful weekend weather that can turn ugly in a heartbeat this time of year.
